Can hematologic parameters predict treatment of ectopic pregnancy?
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveEctopic pregnancy (EP) is the major cause of maternal morbidity and mortalityinthe first trimester of pregnancy. EP can be treated either medical or surgical approches. The purpose of our study wasto predict the treatment choice of tubal EP by usinghematologic parameters which are routinely used in clinical practice.
methodsAfter retrospectively data evaluation was done from Januaryu 2014 to Deceber 201. we had 153 patients with EP. Patientsadmitted to methotrexate (MTX) therapy was Group-1. Patients performed surgerywas Group-II. All patients' initial values including white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (Hgb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), neutrophil and lymphocyte, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet, platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet distribution width (PDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV)were recorded and compared between groups.
resultsOf 153 EP patients, there were 93 patients in MTX group and 60 patients in surgery group. RDW, MPV were significantly increased in MTX group (p=0.003, p=0.001, p=0.038, respectively). However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of WBC, Hgb, MCV, PLT, PLR, PDW. CONSLUSION: RDW, MPV values were independently associated with MTX therapy. Hematologic parameters can be helpful in the choice of the EP treatment.
